New Audiophile - Upgrade Amp First or CDP First?
Is your plan to go to seperates...if so, there is soooo much gear that would fall in your price range. You could get a pretty good pre/amp/player combo from around $1500...In addiiton, I recently heard some of the new CEC stuff...CD player and int...

PS Audio's Digital Link III DAC
has anyone actually puchased and used this thing? 
Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot???
Just purchased some wire at Home Depot to use while I save some money for some new MIT cables. 10awg...with four 10awg conductors, then all wrapped in an external black casing...Sound pretty damn good especially for something that only cost me $80...
